We have been really busy in the yard actually Kipp was busy in our yard. Kipp, Haruka and Max came to visit and attend Kipp's grade school buddies wedding. But we got a lot of work out of him while he was here. He did most of the great grape stake fence around our raised bed garden and the posts for the beehive fence.

Well I don't know about anybody else but over here in the northwest we were robbed of our summer. I don't know who took it but we didn't get it. We are all hoping for an Indian Summer, I hope I hope I hope! We did have a full summer season though. As you can see. Now it's time to think of our winter projects. I hope mine is painting inside. This time the walls. It really is time it has been probably 7 years or more. Then get new carpet, which I have been waiting for a long time. Love you all. Give me a comment to let me know how your are.

This was sooooo much fun, mind you it was still running and tough but sooo much fun. The music, the family, the weather, and the joy of being able to do it!!!!We might just do it again!!!! Who knows, but right now I think 10K's sound pretty good.

So at church on Sunday Lydia listened to the speaker talk about his hike on Mt. Adams and said "I want to do that" so she involved the whole family. Kipp flew out from South Carolina, and we headed for the mountain. Bracan's brother-in-law came with us also. The snow level was so low that it was 2 miles just to the trail head, then another 3 -4 miles to lunch counter, our base camp. We were rained on the entire day, thus soaked, just pass the tree line we had lightening not good when you have metal snowshoes, ski poles, and ice picks in your backpack. So we headed down for cover. Blizzard during the night, leaving 4 inches of snow. No reason to head up cuz you won't see anything anyway. All were sad, Aaron and Kipp decided to have some fun anyway and went sledding in the morning on their sleeping pads. It was a miserable/good time. Pictures coming later.

This is the igloo that Aaron and I built. It kept us nice and cosy. The frozen lake we camped by soooo beautiful. Aaron hard at work. He would cut the blocks and hand them to me to set down around our area to harden up. One of the many switchbacks to get to the top of the mountain. Let me tell you they were steep, coming down I just sat down and slide on my bum!!!Yes that's right. One of our young women wanted to go igloo camping so she set up the training meetings and we went last weekend. Up at Stevens Pass. It was beautiful. I had a great time. Aaron was my buddy. He did all the hard work and I was his grunt. But it still was great.

Always so great when we can take a family picture. We did this on our own. Meaning we didn't get help we had my sister Susan take the picture with 3 cameras we had a better chance of getting a good one.
